ReflectionClass::hasProperty

    (PHP 5 >= 5.1.2, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    ReflectionClass::hasProperty — Checks if property is defined

    Description

    public ReflectionClass::hasProperty(string $name): bool

    Checks whether the specified property is defined.

    Parameters

    name

    Name of the property being checked for.

    Return Values

    true if it has the property, otherwise false

    Examples

    Example #1 ReflectionClass::hasProperty() example

    <?php
    class Foo {
    public     $p1;
    protected     $p2;
    private     $p3;

    }

    $obj = new ReflectionObject(new Foo());

    var_dump($obj->hasProperty("p1"));
    var_dump($obj->hasProperty("p2"));
    var_dump($obj->hasProperty("p3"));
    var_dump($obj->hasProperty("p4"));
    ?>

    The above example will output something similar to:

    bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(false)

    hasProperty() now is consistent with getProperty() and getProperties() methods, thanks to this fix https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49719

    hasProperty() no longer returns true in private properties from parent classes.

    Note, that this method does not guarantee, that you can get a property with ReflectionClass::getProperty().

    ReflectionClass::hasProperty() considers the parent classes (ignoring however, that a private property is not inherited), while ReflectionClass::getProperty() and ReflectionClass::getProperties() don't care about inheritance.

    (Tested with PHP 5.3.0)

    <?php
    class Foo
    {
    private     $x;
    }

    class     Bar extends Foo
    {
    //
    }

    $foo = new ReflectionClass('Foo');
    $bar = new ReflectionClass('Bar');

    var_dump($foo->hasProperty('x'); // bool(true)
    var_dump($bar->hasProperty('x'); // bool(true)

    var_dump(get_class($foo->getProperty('x'))); //string(18) "ReflectionProperty"
    try {
    $bar->getProperty('x');
    } catch (    ReflectionException $e) {
    echo     $e->getMessage(); // Property x does not exist
    }
    ?>
